1 Corinthians 13:6

James Moffatt - New Testament

love is never glad when others go wrong, love is gladdened by goodness,

See the chapter Copy

Let your love be a real thing, with a loathing for evil and a bent for what is good.

I was overjoyed to find some of your children leading the true Life, as we were commanded to do by the Father.

though they know God's decree that people who practise such vice deserve death, they not only do it themselves but applaud those who practise it.

so that all may be doomed who refuse faith in the Truth but delight in evil.

For many — as I have often told you and tell you now with tears — many live as enemies of the cross of Christ.

What does it matter? Anyhow, for ulterior ends or honestly, Christ is being proclaimed, and I rejoice over that; yes and I will rejoice over it.

in all my prayers for you all I always pray with a sense of joy

They were delighted and agreed to pay him for it.

And if he happens to find it, I tell you he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.
